WASHINGTON -- A contract employee at a nuclear material cleanup site in Tennessee was charged Thursday with allegedly stealing classified data about enriching uranium to sell to foreign governments, law enforcement officials said.

The man, identified as Roy Lynn Oakley, 67, of Roane County, Tenn., instead sold the sensitive material to undercover FBI agents, said two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the arrest had not yet been publicly announced.

None of the data ever made it out of the country, or was transmitted to criminal or terror groups, one official said.

Oakley was scheduled to appear in court Thursday afternoon. He was arrested months ago, when the sale took place, and then released. He was named in a two-count indictment on Thursday.

He worked as a low-level contractor for Bechtel Jacobs Co. at the East Tennessee Technology Park, a cleanup site that once housed the government's gaseous diffusion plant used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons, the Energy Department said.
